Attic 24 Cosy CAL Part 4 Scandinavian style

30th November

I am sooooo excited the blanket is
growing but even more so Advent begins. I am such a lover of Christmas. I make no apologies for it. I am excited. But onto this post and the growing blanket. It looks and feels like a blanket and my spare room is crying out for it to be finished. My MIL arrives on Wednesday and I had hoped to have had this completed but that is not now looking likely. Never mind I will have it folded on a chair in the room looking lovely instead. Are you still in love with your blanket? How are you getting on?

This week I have yet again been in awe of mother nature, we have had a mixed bag of frost and blue skies, each bringing with it a new view, thought I would share it with you before I reveal the next set of 15 colours for the blanket...

Look at the cloud formation in London this week

The same London cloud formation as the sun was setting

Early morning frost along our road
at the beginning of the last week in November

Just breath taking, a frosty morning

Of course now that we have had two fairly deep frosts in our neck of the woods the colour has disappeared in our garden, but we have just a tad of orange left...

BUT, you are wanting this weeks colours, so here they are:

Colour order on photo is from right to left!

Cream rows 91 & 92

Stone rows 93 & 94

Silver rows 95 & 96

Cream rows 97 & 98
Parchment rows 99 & 100

White rows 101 & 102

Cream rows 103 & 104Stone rows 105 & 106Parchment rows 107 & 108White rows 109 & 110Silver rows 111 & 112Stone rows 113 & 114Parchment rows 115 & 116Cream rows 117 & 118Silver rows 119 & 120Those of you who have been following the blankets progress know that it is for the spare room and I was after a Scandinavian feel to it, I think it still does that, but I really think it comes into it's own when out with nature, what do you think? It matches well with the outside...

The blanket is now so cosy on my lap when crocheting and I must confess too large to cart around with me whilst out and about, but I still manage to drag it from room to room. Where do you craft and crochet?

In bed, although I cannot do this if the other
half is around
as he has decreed it as very 'unsexy'!!!!

Yes, that is a real cat
and no that is not a real deer?!!?

Last year I posted every day in December and this year will be the same. It all began here last year... ﻿

So loving this color combo. I received my yarn last week and I am in love with it. I am on row 40. I have a little way to go. I am changing colors every 4 rows instead of every 2 so I have a wider stripe. I have also swapped out white and used grey. Loving and look forward to crocheting every night in my favorite chair.Enjoying your blog and beautiful photos.XoxoSusie

Your blanket sounds divine. Like the 4 row idea. I am finding this blanket so relaxing to crochet. As you say, look forward to it at the end of a busy day. Glad you are enjoying the blog, very heart warming to hear x
